  // NOTE: Because we are in the Conditional Gaussian regime there are only
  // a few cases:
  // 1. continuous variable, make a Gaussian Mixture if there are hybrid
  // factors;
  // 2. continuous variable, we make a Gaussian Factor if there are no hybrid
  // factors;
  // 3. discrete variable, no continuous factor is allowed
  // (escapes Conditional Gaussian regime), if discrete only we do the discrete
  // elimination.

  // However it is not that simple. During elimination it is possible that the
  // multifrontal needs to eliminate an ordering that contains both Gaussian and
  // hybrid variables, for example x1, c1.
  // In this scenario, we will have a density P(x1, c1) that is a Conditional
  // Linear Gaussian P(x1|c1)P(c1) (see Murphy02).

  // The issue here is that, how can we know which variable is discrete if we
  // unify Values? Obviously we can tell using the factors, but is that fast?

  // In the case of multifrontal, we will need to use a constrained ordering
  // so that the discrete parts will be guaranteed to be eliminated last!
  // Because of all these reasons, we carefully consider how to
  // implement the hybrid factors so that we do not get poor performance.

  // The first thing is how to represent the GaussianMixture.
  // A very possible scenario is that the incoming factors will have different
  // levels of discrete keys. For example, imagine we are going to eliminate the
  // fragment: $\phi(x1,c1,c2)$, $\phi(x1,c2,c3)$, which is perfectly valid.
  // Now we will need to know how to retrieve the corresponding continuous
  // densities for the assignment (c1,c2,c3) (OR (c2,c3,c1), note there is NO
  // defined order!). We also need to consider when there is pruning. Two
  // mixture factors could have different pruning patterns - one could have
  // (c1=0,c2=1) pruned, and another could have (c2=0,c3=1) pruned, and this
  // creates a big problem in how to identify the intersection of non-pruned
  // branches.

  // Our approach is first building the collection of all discrete keys. After
  // that we enumerate the space of all key combinations *lazily* so that the
  // exploration branch terminates whenever an assignment yields NULL in any of
  // the hybrid factors.

  // When the number of assignments is large we may encounter stack overflows.
  // However this is also the case with iSAM2, so no pressure :)

  // 1. if all factors are discrete, then we can do discrete elimination:
